F.C. Barcelona Football Formation

Lineup (3-4-3)

Thats, what i would like to see next season. I think that the formation next season should be some kind of hybrid of 3-4-3 and 4-3-3. I think its better to have 1 attacking full back rather than 2 attacking full backs. So it means that Alves who isnt that old good Alves anymore should be sold this summer. But it doesent mean that Barca should buy new defensive RB, the answer is Mascherano and Montoya. Definitely Barca need a new CB especially when IMO Mascherano should play more as a right back and Puyol is more and more injury prone. Vertonghen surely is best option but Tottenham wont sell him for reasonable price so Abdennour sounds good to me: left footed, not very slow, can pass the ball well, is good tackler, quite good in the air. In midfield i think Thiago should be more starter next season, to keep Xavi fit for important games. I also think that Cesc doesent fit anywhere in Barca starting lineup, so he should be subsitution, but he can give rest to Messi and Iniesta, so his role in team is still vital. Same story with Song, who can also play in other midfield positions than only pivot. He can add more strength to our midfield, so he can play that Keita role for Barca in some cases. In attack i hope that Alexis and Villa stays. Alexis may not score so many goals but he is 1 of the best dribblers in Europe atm and with his great workrate and movements he is very-very important for Barca. If Villa leaves then i would definitely love to see Agüero playing for Barca but it wont happen and Barca will buy Neymar in that case. In attack the most important thing is to give Messi freedom, so Villa will play more as a CF, but its important to have wingers to stretch opponent defence so here comes Alba to the game but Alba will be more like a wingback not winger. With his ashtonishing stamina he can support both attack and defense. Lastly GK position: i think Valdes should be sold this summer, because i find it better option rather than letting him go free 2014 summer. Best option for GK position is for me ter Stegen.
